Accurate
Well done Samora! We spent great 6 days, Iddy been taking care about us and our requests from months before our arrival. He create the best safari itinerary for us in more than 2/3 different options and different budgets. Reggie, our Safari guide was the cherry on top! Took us to the best spots, spotted so many animals from far away and give us a lot of explanation about all the species. In addition, all the lodge and tented camp that they booked for us were amazing!

We had great experience with the ageny and our guide Edward
We contacted multiple agencies and settled with RO because of the combination of reasonable price and good communication (special shout out to Silas). I'm pleased to say that they lived up to our expectations and went beyond it on multiple occasions to give us a safari experience we treasured much. Our driver and guide Edward is a disciplined guy who always keep the car tidy and a professional who knows what his doing when looking for animals. For gaming drives, having the right guide really makes all the difference and for us Edward is the guy. For multiple times, we were the first to spot lion/cheeta/leopard because of Edward. And when others share locations where animals can be found, he is quick to get there. He also accommodated us for early start of the day to have the best chance of seeing the big cats and drived us for long hours to help us capture as much as possible. It is also a very heart warming surprise that the director Robert prepared us a gift for our honeymoon. So all in all, I would sincerely recommend RO's service to travelers interested in safari. We had a great time.

A Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Safari – Serengeti Wakanda Tours Is Truly the Best!
My fiancée and I have just completed the 4‑Day Fly‑In Zanzibar to Northern Circuit Classic Safari, and choosing Serengeti Wakanda Tours and Safaris was the best decision we made for our trip. From the first enquiry to the final drop‑off, everything was perfectly organised, warm, and deeply memorable.
Our Guide – Zephania (Request Him!)
We cannot recommend Zephania enough. With more than 10 years of guiding and game‑driving experience, he was trusting, kind, incredibly polite, and always made us feel safe. His knowledge of wildlife, ecosystems, predators, prey, birds, trees (like the Serengeti acacia and Tarangire’s iconic baobab), rivers (including the origins of the Seronera and Tarangire rivers), tribes, and local history made every moment meaningful.
One of the best parts of travelling with him was the early 6:15 am starts, which meant we consistently beat the rush. Because of this, we enjoyed quiet sightings—including witnessing a pride of lions feasting on their kill with only two other vehicles around. Thanks to his dedication, we saw the Big 5 and several rare animals.
If you book with Wakanda Tours, ask specifically for Zephania. He is exceptional at what he does and simply a wonderful person to share this journey with.
Lala Salama Luxury Tented Camp – Our Favourite Stay Ever
Our two nights at Lala Salama Camp in the Serengeti were truly unforgettable. The camp was luxurious, welcoming, and exceeded expectations in every way. The team—especially Charles—made us feel instantly at home. The food was outstanding, and the picnic lunch boxes were far superior to the basic paper‑bag lunches we saw from other operators.
Sleeping under the Serengeti sky with the sounds of lions, buffalos, and hyenas nearby was a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. Our only regret: not staying longer.
A Magical Surprise Engagement During the Night Time Bush Dinner
We decided to opt in for the Night Time Bush Dinner, and it became the most unforgettable night of our lives. The Lala Salama team and Zephania secretly collaborated to create the most beautiful surprise engagement. The special dinner, the setup, the care, and the warmth of everyone involved made it a moment we will treasure forever.
Smooth, Professional Planning From Start to Finish
A special thank‑you to Aishwarya, whose quick communication, clarity, and friendliness made the entire planning and booking process effortless.
We did thorough research before booking, and Serengeti Wakanda came out on top for both price and itinerary. Now that we've experienced it ourselves, it’s clear why they hold consistent 5‑star reviews. The thoughtful welcome pack—including Masai blanket, Wakanda Forever T‑shirts, and mugs—was a lovely extra touch.
Final Thoughts
We wouldn’t book with anyone else. Serengeti Wakanda provides excellent value for money (~$4,000 for 2 people across 4 days), genuine hospitality, deep respect for guests, and a level of luxury without the high‑end price tag of many competitors.
Another reason we wholeheartedly recommend them is that Serengeti Wakanda is a locally based Arusha company, which truly shows in the experience. Their costs are reasonable because you’re booking directly with the people on the ground, and the level of care, cultural insight, and pride they bring is something international operators simply cannot match.
To anyone planning a safari:
Book with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. Request Zephania. Stay at Lala Salama Camp.
You’ll be cared for, inspired, and given memories you’ll carry for life.

I felt safe with our guide Martin and he could always bring us meters away from every animal.
First of all communication with the agent is quick, clear and transparent.
Value for what you get in therms of safari experience is incredible.
We have seen all the animals, our tour guid Martin has used all the tricks possible to get us meters away from every animal. He even managed to show us such rarities like Leopard and serval cat. More over he told us all the important bits and then let us enjoy the spectacle in quiet. The most important thing besides the experience is that I have felt safe with Martin on the road between parks and in them.
If I would ever come here again I would not hesitate to go with guid Marin again.
Otherwise if you want to experience kenya its culture, wildlife and landscape with bit of adventure, this safari is a must.

Fantastic organisers of trips to fit budget and time.
We planned a day trip from Green Village, Fort Portal, to Kazinga Channel via an early loop within QE National Park. Driver-guide Johnson timed it all beautifully, so we could even divert up to the Rwenzori Trekking Services hostel above Kilembe on a memory tour on the way back. He had organised an excellent Community boat operator at Kazinga Channel, and I had a second wonderful viewing of elephants. A day packed with goodies, including our very own picnic taken at leisure.

Good guys with good organization
My experience with this operator is exceptional. The ascent of Kili is very well organized. I would especially like to praise Bryson and Emmanuel who provided full support during the trek and on the night of the ascent itself. Also praise to all other team members of this operator. After a successful expedition to Kili, they organized a two-day safari to Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater with also good guides and drivers, which fully met all expectations. I recommend them with pleasure and hope to meet again on one of the longer safaris.

Exceptional
My family and I booked several trips with Jupicon Expeditions, including Maasai Mara, Diani Beach, and Naivasha Sopa Resort. We had an amazing experience from start to finish.
A special thank you to Ngugi for putting everything together so seamlessly. He was highly professional, his communication was exceptional, and he made sure all our needs were met, which guaranteed our satisfaction.
Great thanks as well to Isaac and Martin, our incredible drivers. They kept us entertained throughout the trips and made the entire experience even more enjoyable.
We will definitely be booking with Jupicon Expeditions again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable trip

Wonderful trip!
My adventure in Uganda with Gorilla and Chimpanzee trakking was absolutely unforgettable and perfectly organized from start to finish.
The highlight of the trip was, of course, trakking to see the mountain Gorillas in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park and tracking Chimpanzees in Kibale National Park. Both experiences were beyond words – amazing and stunning. Seeing Gorillas up close in their natural habitat was a true once-in-a-lifetime moment, and the Chimpanzee trekking was just as fascinating and exciting.
The entire tour was extremely well organized. Communication with the organizer before and during the trip was excellent – quick responses, clear information, and great attention to detail. Everything ran exactly on time, and I felt fully supported throughout the journey.
From the very beginning, starting with the hotel pick-up, all logistics were taken care of seamlessly. All park entries, permits, and forest passes were arranged in advance, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. It made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable.
The accommodations were perfectly chosen – beautiful lodges with stunning views of the Ugandan landscape, comfortable rooms, and delicious food. After long trekking days, it was wonderful to relax in such peaceful and scenic surroundings.
This trip exceeded all my expectations. If you are considering Gorilla and Chimpanzee trakking in Uganda - highly recommend this 5-day tour!

Big five and more
Looking for the ultimate Kenyan safari? Richard is your man.
We didn't just see the Big Five—we experienced them. Witnessing a leopard up close and cheetahs in action was absolutely surreal.
Unforgettable memories led by a true expert. Highly recommended!

Excellent!
I went to Tsavo in early February for two days and I was impressed by the size of the elephants there!
I was helped to book Salt lick lodge and i would highly recommend Jupicon due to the proper planning and communication.
